spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 :csk::csk::csk: Good Move by CSK so far! Whistle Podu time MS Dhoni 1800K Suresh Raina 1300K Murali Vijay 900K Albie Morkel 500K Mike Hussey 425K Dywane Bravo 200K R Ashwin 850K Dougie Bollinger 700K W Saha 100K Badrinath 800K Total 7575K Available 1425K
Sid Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Great move it is,kept most of their players intact with the exception of Murali ,just need one agressive opener :two_thumbs_up:
fineleg Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Chennai should have picked up Graeme Swann (came for a cheap price relatively) Or maybe Tamim Iqbal (to get a lefty opener) - again price was cheap, and for TonteeTontee that guy can do the job.
fineleg Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 And G. Swann too (despite him not available the entire IPL) - but thats a 50-50 if their tour coincides too much. Whats the overlap for England? - I dont know the schedule.
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 finey - What are you doing here. This is a forbidden territory. 'Test Kirkut' tresspassers will be prosecuted
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Tamim Iqbal or Gayle should be picked. I have a hunch that Haydos is already selected, so that could be the reason I think they will play the big game tomorrow.
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Starting 11: 1,Hussey 2.Murali Vijay 3. Raina 4.Badrinath 5.(Bravo) 6.Dhoni 7.Albie Morkel 8.Ashwin 9.Bollinger 10.(Balaji) 11.(Jakati) () Maybes
yoda Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I am glad Badri got picked and deserved to get paid. He has done a lot for us the first 3 IPLs for a paltry sum. Still feel like we are bowling weak. Also not sure how motivated Bravo will be to play for 200k. We should pay him more with some endorsement stuff if possible. :winky: Not sure WTF Saha is doing there. Would have preferred dropthiv in that place. Glad we got Bollinger and Hussey back, although aussies aren't typically available all tournament. Ashwin :yay: Overall looks like we are ready to kick more ass. :hysterical:
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 Kudos to the CSK management for going all the way to retain the champion team [in Gowndamani style] I am very happy :yay: Be smart tomorrow as well and pickup some good Indian players from the domestics.
ViruRulez Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 They are buying back the whole team once again at a higher price. :giggle:
yoda Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 So who all did we lose? Murali - not that bad, we still have Ashwin, but will need a few other spinners as well Hayden - no word on him yet, he has been rather useless couple of seasons, so may be we are ok without him Parthiv - Saha is a bad move, would have preferred Parthiv for 200k more We still need to bring Anirudha and Balaji back.
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 I think Saha is good player as he showed his potential for certain matches for KKR If groomed well, he can be a handy option We should look at these players outside the auction S Anirudha R Satish Balaji M Pandey A Rayudu S Tyagi Harmeet Singh
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 They are buying back the whole team once again at a higher price. :giggle: What do you expect? All of them performed well and CSK has been the most consistent team in the IPL. Players like Murali Vijay, Ashwin, Badri, Jakati,Srikanth,Balaji were bought for just 30,000 $ when useless players like Flintoff were bought for 1.5 million. So obviously all these players are worth much more than what they were paid and its good to see them get it this time. Murali vijay, who was the batsman of the tournament in Champions league, deserves more than Utappams and Nohits that got 2 million but i am not sure even Raina got that much. So in a way some of the retained players were robbed.
ZodiaC Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Saha>Papa, both as a keeper and batsman, IMO. Overall some good players grabbed by chennai.
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 CSK should bid for Thisara Perara and Shaun Tait ( if he comes for cheap price)
f.b.m Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I think Davy Jacobs would have been a good buy for csk. Any word on Mayank Aggarwal?
